"...A Tarnished, but Worthwhile Animated Creation..."
If you took the biting humor of Mel Brooks, the flashy, dark environment of Tim Burton, and the stunning CGI of Pixar, you'd bring to life this tarnished, but worthwhile animated creation. Writer Chris McKenna and Director Tony Leondis have done just that.
This story of a lowly hunchbacked servant (Played by John Cusack) and his quest to bring to life the perfect evil invention does have dark undertones, but a great message about how you don't have to be evil to survive in such a world. The cast was also a treat. A lot of big names, such as Cusack, Molly Shannon, Eddie Izzard, Steve Buschemi, and even Arsenio Hall star in this movie, and deliver great performances.
I particularly enjoyed Buschemi playing a snarky roadkill rabbit that can't die, but keeps trying, as well as Izzard (my favorite character) as a narcissistic and devious villain out to steal Igor's invention.
I know the movie has dark undertones and a few grisly jokes, but it's all in good fun and I recommend it!
